I want to write about being crushed
Like something sat down on my chest
No one will ever read this
But I have to let this out
When I am around people I am happy
Because I love them
I want them not to worry
Please don't leave me alone
I am alone now....
Rather than one heart break that will heal
I have a perpetually breaking heart
Maybe there is nothing sitting on me
Maybe my chest collapsed
Someone probably beat me to death
That would be lovely
Death by blunt object to the lungs
Baseball bat mayhaps?
Depression is a crushing thing
Devastating
Irrational
Fleeting
It comes to stay a few days or a week
Then leaves much later than intended
Please don't leave me
I don't want to be alone
This silence stifles my thoughts
The emptiness causes my tearducts to weep
At night I slumber
Wishing to be held
Maybe, there's that word again, maybe someday
If I am very lucky
This sadness that crushes will fade I know
But each and every time
It takes longer to go
